try, and they are fairly swarming in
many places where nothing Is done to
keep them out.
"In 1871 only few thousand Chinese
lived in Singapore. To-day the new
China town is the feature of the place.
Singapore now has $1,000 Chinese resi-
dents, and last year 10000 Chinese
landed in the city on their way to other
parts of the coast. Cochin China, which
Is now q French province, is rapidly
filling with Chinese. Here, as in all
other parts Of the southern coast OF Asia,
the Chinese excel the natives in intelli-
gence, education and business qualiiica-
tions. They assert their superiority in
many ways and treat most OF the natives
as their interiors. In Cochin China the
Chinese have absorbed most the greater
part Of the trade. They can beat the
natives selling their own products, and
many Of them arc rich.
In Australia the Chinese are growing
in numbers. They control the trade Of
the Gilbert islands and are gaining
ground in Hawaii. In many Of the
Pacific islands, like Fiji, where there is
considerable trade, visitor is likely to
see q group of Chinese before his eye
lights on q native. The Chinese are
overrunning Burmah and there is a
large colony Of them at Mandalay. A
large party OF travelling Chinese mer-
chants who were on the road in Burmah
q few weeks ago were mistaken by the
British troops for dacoits. The soldiers
fired upon them and several Of the poor
fellows were rilled.

THE LAND OF LAKES.

Strange sights That are 20 he Seen In
Finiand-Isough Travelling.
Finland is, in the language OF the
country, suomesimaa, 1.-THE land of
lAkes," and this is really the truth, as no
lsss than one-third is under water. Much
q this is, however, marsh land, though
ehe lakes Saima, Lodogo, Enara, etc,
cover some thousands Of square miles.
The surface of the country is flat, with q
chain of low hills about the center, the
highest of these being the mountain Aava-
0sa- The coasts are deeply indentured
and picturesque, with bold granite cliffs
Standing clear out against the deep blue
aky, and many islands belonging to the
Archipelago of Aland dot the surface of
- western waters. Inland there are
dense forests of pine, fir and birch, which
have a strange and enthralling influence
- the imagination. ..
Notwithstanding their usually sombef
aspect, there are innumerable pleasant
giades in the receses Of these woods,
where the tail, white stemnied birch and
great bowl,lers. covered with licbens, crop
up from the grass and form a pleasant
picture; beside this, the lakes have a
beauty-solemn and romantic which
can scarcely, be found elsewhere. The
landscape, too, dotted with numerous
windmills, and the church towers, built
apart from the places Of worship, present
strange pictures. From these towers the
night waichInen sound their horns or
play upon triangles as an alarm Of fire.
Often in the dead of night a great blaze
on the horizon will tell Of some forest fire
These are mainly owing TO the careless
ness of the peasantry, and, combined
with the great expectation Of timber and
its lavish use for iirewool and for build

The TojIjpy Masses of China.

Another thing that is OF still greater
potency in keeping content among the
toiling MASSES of China is that they are 10
such vast extent their own employees
They have among them no vast naIlul.p-
turing concerns. where hundreds, or eve.
thousands Of men, employed in similar
work, are all but parts Of gigantic ina
chine, and subject to the same conditions
Of existence, with perhaps an equal hope
essness of ever attaining any other posi-
ton than that of subordinate dependency.
There nm. very many thousands of men
who earn their living by some sort of
manual labor in China, who carry on
business ON their own account. who in-
berit their little business from a line Of
ancestors, and Whose personalities are rep
resentative Of generations OF cmitented
workers. II individuals have been SO
fortunate that the demand for their work.
by reason OF its excellence, or clesipness,
or for any other reason, has come To ex-
coed what they and their children can
